    They could have defended the lives of Palestinians and acknowledged that the genocide was happening.

    It was Biden’s press secretary and SOS who got up on a podium everyday and assured the press and those “other voters” that Israel wasn’t doing anything wrong. They drew that line themselves, not anyone who was protesting the genocide.

      How short is your memory?

      Biden expressed disapproval multiple times.

      Whether intentional or not, you are spreading misinformation. The same kind that got Trump and Musk into the Oval Office. And people are upvoting you. Congrats.

        Biden tells Netanyahu it’s time to end Gaza war

        This one is kinda funny to me because people interpret trump saying nearly the same words is evidence of his genocidal intent.

        But none of those ‘statements of disapproval’ conveys the severity of their literal fucking war crimes and genocide, which would be a minimum (I would think) to convince a skeptical zionist voter that maybe some intervention is justified. Not to mention that Harris repeatedly refused to commit to withholding lethal aid every time she was asked during her candidacy.

      And this is how trump got elected. Have some self awareness and knowledge of game theory.

        He’s literally spreading misinformation and I posted links to prove it.

        And he’s being upvoted and you’re being downvoted. Which makes your comment even more poignant. Fucking internet man. Humans simply weren’t ready for it.

        Why do you criticize regular people about game theory and not the actual people crafting the strategy to win an election?

          Because regular adults should be responsible enough to see through blatant manipulation by blatantly bad actors. And if they can’t, that’s no one else’s fault but their own.

        seems like the game theory applied didn’t seem to work very well, maybe it’s not our priors that need updating…::
